Disk Quotas
Notes:
• When using quotas, disable the recycle bin or empty the trash folder. The limited space includes
the space used for trash.
• Quotas apply per drive or per array. If a Quota is set to 1 GB, each drive or array can use maximum
of 1 GB.
• Quotas can’t be set for external USB hard drives connected to the LinkStation, only internal drives.
• The LS-CHL LinkStation doesn’t support disk quotas in the US and the EU.
